For a lesson in what to wear right now, you needn't necessarily look to the runways, as they often showcase creations too fantastical for everyday use. Instead, we like to zero in on the street style set, which reliably cherry-picks the need-to-know pieces for us, subsequently setting the tone of our wardrobes for the season ahead. And right now, as we find ourselves in the midst of fashion month, those dashing to and from shows are serving up all the shopping inspiration we need with their perfectly executed outfits, which feature some seriously chic items.
Identifying these items comes easily to editors. Chances are we've already come across them during our dutiful fashion research. However, for the average person who doesn't work in the industry, finding out where to buy that gorgeous dress from the streets of, say, Paris Fashion Week is near impossible. So we thought we'd put our talents to good use and highlight the cult items we've seen on the fashion-week street style circuit.
From the designer It bag with a very loyal fan base to the incredible Zara find beloved by off-duty models, scroll on to see (and shop!) the cult buys that are everywhere at fashion week.
